Unironic advise
Download pokemon go or some other phone game that has you actually go outside
I've lost 20 pounds and feel healthier than ever since I started playing pokemon go again

>>724232239
you don't NEET if you don't have an eternal burning flame as your inner motivator (and you obviously don't)

send me a remote desktop link to your PC, anon. I'll get you started.

>>724232469
I didn't choose to NEET

>>724232239

Welcome to adulthood anon.

>>724232239
you don't have to play games if you don't feel like it
just do whatever until you feel like playing

>>724232469
>eternal burning flame as your inner motivator
I had this once. I grew content with myself for just a moment, and now I'm not sure where the passion went.

>>724232239
step 1
find a game you actually like

>>724232649
Its called getting old

>>724232773
But I'm 21 and graduating uni. Currently somewhat aimless.

>>724232580
are you literally actually mentally retarded and not legally viable for shit you do? do you (feel like you) have no opportunity to do anything at all?
get a graveyard shift security job, start gardening, become a scammer, fucking whatever

>>724232709
Every time I do I end up burning out within 100 hours

>>724232868
>Guy can't work.
>"Go study and work or something, lmao"

>>724232828
Hit the gym or jog around.
When you do your blood circulates better and you'll feel like you actually did something.
The your body starts to get stronger and makes you feel better.
I suggest to take a sweat every two afternoons per week, ideally pick the same days of the week everytime so it becomes normal to do.
If you don't know how to train head over to /fit/ and read the sticky

>>724232239
Download the new game.
I'm downloading Bloodlines 2 right now.
Play the new game. Maybe you'll like it. Try to like it, just in case you do.
Do this for all new games. You will eventually like one.

Hot tip: you will NOT find a new game you like by not playing new video games.

>>724233096
>can't
is a very loaded word if you are not mentally or physically disabled
is "go outside and make friends" any better of an alternative? something worth doing that puts leisure time into a better perspective? if not, then just kill yourself and spare us all the pity party

>>724232239
You gotta double-click the .exe otherwise the game won't start, stupid.

>>724233149
Yeah, you're absolutely right. I used to jog on my treadmill once or twice a week in high school, and it made a marked difference to my motivation, self-esteem, and most noticeably my sleep quality. I've since sold my treadmill, but I've considered getting a gym membership for my cardio fix + hypertrophy training for body recomp. It's something I'll seriously consider once uni pressures ease up and I get more time to myself.
I know what to do to improve myself, it's just that finding the will to do so is difficult. It requires more than just fleeting motivation; it requires self-discipline and regularity, which I currently lack.

>>724232239
Atlas will arrive soon.
Don't worry.
And prepare.

>>724233759
I had the same problem.
I used fapping as a reward for a couple of months, either before or after gym.

>>724233149
>>724233759
>just work out
why is this snake oil so popular?

>>724232239
>How the fuck do I start playing games
Usually just double clicking on the game in your Steam library works

>>724234290
It's not snake oil. You'd know if you attempted regular exercise. Cardio genuinely does boost your mood and confidence, and can improve sleep. Read about it instead of plainly dismissing it.

>>724234290
Because it works?
Working out makes you pump blood faster, which makes you feel better.
Being fat (even just overweight) makes you feel bad, working out fixes that too overtime.
There's research behind it, inform yourself.

>>724234443
i have attempted regular exercise. it made no long term difference to my mood, or life, or anything.
short term i was excited for starting a new thing. arguably i was in a good place to begin with, since a depressed person would simply not be able to start a new thing. then i got used to it, and it became part of the grind, and i detested it. then i injured my shoulder and, after almost 2 years of 3 days per week no excuses, took this as a reason to stop going.
now i just run on my stationary bike in the mornings, for 30-40 minutes. should be enough to not age too fast. just doing maintenance. doesn't influence my mood or energy or will to live in any way. if anything, i feel happy to skip it, and only guilt is preventing me from stopping altogether. maybe if i injure my ankle, i will be free.

>>724234532
>There's research behind it, inform yourself.
There is research saying that depressed people work out less. Hint: depressed people do everything less. That's the definition of depression. You don't do things.
The kind of person who can even muster the chemicals required to go work out is the kind of person who isn't too depressed.

Like saying hospitals make you sick, because all the sick people are in the hospital.

You can assume.
Pretty sure most countries don't give free money for long, if they do at all to guys that actually can work.
Also i'm pretty sure "going out and making friends" is incredibly difficult if you are disabled, tends to make people insecure and depressed.

>>724232239
Play something really simple that isn't too mechanically draining, like Oaken Tower or other autobattlers.

>>724234975
>this is the person telling you to inform yourself

>>724234990
I have tried it, read >>724234634
I did sports in school and uni, I did two years of regular bodybuilding style gym workouts. I'm nearing 40, been low energy and depressed all my life, and half of that involved doing physical exercises. It made no difference.
Again, I mostly did it when I wasn't that bad mentally to begin with. You need to get better, to get working out. Working out doesn't cause the improvement, it requires the improvement to happen first.
At my worst, I wouldn't get up from bed to go to the toilet. I'd rather suffer holding it in, than interrupt my rotting in bed to go shit. If you haven't experienced it, you have no frame of reference. You just can't comprehend the idea of a person who has to do thing X, wants to do thing X, is able to do thing X, and yet doesn't do thing X. The doing doesn't occur, despite your ability or desire. That's the sickness. Things don't happen, regardless of how you feel about them happening. You just don't get up. "Getting up would fix your cant-make-myself-get-up-problem", ok retard.

>>724234993
I accept your concession and you have my permission to stay complacent. Less competition for the rest of us.

Better to be depressed than retarded.

That was a different anon altogether.

>>724232239
I'm sick right now and I've found that when I have less energy I'm not as interested in playing games.
What I'm trying to say is you're probably fat and need to exercise

Use a pomodoro timer to do something productive for 25 min.
Play a game to reward yourself.
Repeat pomodoro everytime u fail or complete a mission.
Repeat until being productive is more fun than gaming

>>724234975

>>724235258
Not those anons, and never suffered from depression, but you put it into words very well. Just not wanting to do stuff isnt depression, its a human condition. Being able to, wanting to and having time but still not being able to is, hence the disorder. 99% of problems depressed people have could be fixed through simple "just get up and do it", but what are you going to do if your body doesnt do what you know has to be done (and can be done physically)? How do you solve the issue if "just do it" doesnt work? Thats one hell of a problem, since our society is built on "just doing it".

>>724232239
are you at least spending this time doing something? Days I can't decide what to play I spend hours looking into each genre and tag I have even the slightest interest in.

Play trickcal
When I young and full of energy to prove myself but wasn't allowed to do shit because underage I'd put that energy into games
Now that I'm well past adult I just use the energy to do stuff, then I'll bully chibis in Trickcal to make up for the fact that I'm fucking 35 and still don't have kids

>>724232239
Pirate games so atleast you're being productive while doing nothing. Nintendo games.

You’re not depressed you probably have adhd your brain is literally not made for this cog in the machine then go have fun in extroverted activities downtown a few times per week jewish lifestyle that actually soulless normgroids think is how life is just meant to be. You were out on this earth to create and to create one must suffer to gain perspective. Most of us with this gift don’t end up creating because this civilization was built with the sole purpose of suppressing creative godhood within man, but maybe you’d be one of the lucky ones. One day you will get sick and tired of being sick and tired and you will just know what you need to do. And then it will flow out of your bleeding heart like a flooded dam. Good luck anon stay safe out there and always remember: NEVER kill yourself no matter how bad it gets

Dear diary. I just watch porn, shitpost on forums, watch youtube, and occasionally use my 3D printer for some shit.

All my controllers are busted so I'm 3D printing a new shell with extra buttons on front and back to accomodate my Cronus Max for macros and rebinds.

I'll start playing games when this shit is done.
